The Order Of The 12 – Lore Of The Land

     Don’t think that psych-folk sounds like a style you would like? Think again! Enter the debut LP from The Order Of The 12 (February 10, 2023) from Lewes, Sussex. Bundled up as yet another project from prolific electronic artist Richard Norris, the LP includes the ethereal, haunting vocals of Rachel Thomas, and is co-written by Norris, Thomas, and Stuart Carter.

Joey Harkum – Sick And Tired

     Folk artist Joey Harkum is poised to release his third full-length LP Salt and Tar,  sometime this spring. While Sick And Tired (seen/heard here) will appear on that LP, the song dates back to 2008 when Joey was writing and singing music with The Pasadena Band. That said, while the song maintains the lyrics and melody, the style of playing is much different here, as are the vocals from Joey. His voice has gained a rich, natural, falsetto since those early days…
